Hey ebarfield, and
So sorry to hear of your health issues...you may want to head over to the "Dieting with Obstacles" area to talk to others facing similar challenges.
You also might want to check out the 30-somethings areas, or any one of our groups based on your weight loss plan (like the South Beach forum) or the amount you have to lose (like the 100 lb club).
If you need any help finding anything, let us know...otherwise, look around, settle in a spot or two or (if you're like me) ten, and keep reading and posting. Can't wait to hear more from you soon!
